Re: [ceph-users] v0.94.6 Hammer released

Hi Dan & al,

I think it would be relatively simple to have these binaries published as part of the current "Stable release" team effort[1]. Essentially doing what you did and electing a central place to store these binaries. The trick is to find a sustainable way to do this which means having a process that is simple to maintain and understand as well as enough of us to maintain that in the long run.

The basic idea is to copy the packages that are build by gitbuilders or by the buildpackage teuthology task in a central place. Because these packages are built, for development versions as well as stable versions[2]. And they are tested via teuthology. The packages that are published on http://ceph.com/ are rebuilt from scratch, using the process that Alfredo described. This is fine for the supported platforms and for the stable releases. But for the development releases and the platforms that are no longer supported but still built by gibuilders, we could just copy the packages over.

Does that sound sensible ?
